Interior Design and Design

Course Leader:

Beatrice-Gabriela Jöger

Learning outcomes:

The course is proposing a historical approach of the textile materials from the point of view of the material itself - as a construction material - and from that of its usage and forms of usage in time. Considered a minor material in the economy of a project, the textiles have a big importance form an interior architect/designer's point of view, a trade that made its way through the high education and the professions in Romania. As architects we do study the construction materials, about wood, iron, concrete, glass etc., most of them used to really build an edifice but also used in interior architecture/design, but we do not studied (until now) the textile materials.
As for these reasons, the course is starting with the raw materials and the techniques of obtaining the textiles, continuing with the history of the textile's categories that I consider important from the interior architect's point of view.
The study of textile materials will be done through permanent correlation with other arts, with their renewals, with mutual influences and interregional interferences, with existing contemporary trends.
The course aims to form a specialized culture that will contribute to the development of the ability to select textile materials with the characteristics necessary for a certain project and valuable from an aesthetic point of view. At the same time, the author of the project will be able to justify his creative choices by supporting them with significant examples, from the past or contemporary.
